Abstract

In this work I briefly refer to the origins of superconductivity, to its characteristics and to the theories that explained very well the so call conventional superconductivity. I further deal with the new high temperature superconductivity and mention briefly some of the problems of interest in the research in the field nowadays. © 2014. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis. Nat.

N. Bohr es autor del primer modelo atómico que incluía una cierta forma de cuantización. Es autor de una interpretación de la Mecánica Cuántica llamada la interpretación de Copenhage que, aunque discutida, se impuso en la mayoría de los físicos del Siglo XX y prevalece hasta nuestros días.

A. Einstein y N. Bohr tuvieron una famosísima polémica que nunca concluyó acerca de la interpretación de la Mecánica Cuántica. Einstein no estuvo de acuerdo con la interpretación probabilísca de Bohr. “Dios no juega a los dados”, parece haber dicho.
